About this tour

What to expect
You'll board a small two-person aircraft for a 45-minute flight departing Bora Bora. The route skims low enough to reveal reef formations, sand bars, and the atoll's intricate topography. If traveling with a companion, you'll each get dedicated flight time rather than sharing a single departure. While airborne, expect sharp color variations—deep blues of open ocean transitioning to bright turquoise shallows—and clear sightlines to both Bora Bora's interior peaks and Tupai's outer rim. The experience is smooth but intimate; you're in close quarters with one other passenger and the pilot.
Good to know
Landing and facility fees are covered. Arrange your own ground transportation to the airport (public options exist nearby). Not suitable if pregnant or dealing with cardiovascular concerns. The aircraft's small size means limited baggage space. Book in advance, especially during peak season.
